Valiant Superhero Faith Inspires Size-Inclusive Clothing Line

Valiant Entertainment's Faith has attracted positive press in recent years being a "plus-size superhero," and now the character has inspired a real-life clothing line based on her costume. Revealed by Valiant on Monday, "The Faith Collection" is a partnership between the comic book publisher and Catherine Elhoffer of Elhoffer Design.

The collection, first seen on Bustle, consists of three items (two aimed at women customers and one unisex), available exclusively on ThinkGeek. True to the character's emphasis on body positivity, the items are available at a variety of sizes.

“It was an absolute honor and pleasure to not only be approached by Valiant Entertainment to design and create this collection, but to get to work with such an exciting and welcoming team," Elhoffer said. "Valiant has been downright fantastic to team up with, and I hope to create even more with them in the future! Faith is a superhero that is close to my heart, as I'm also a plus-size girl. She's inspired me to help save the world in the way I know how: making fashion that helps everyone feel empowered and invincible!"

Faith, also known as Zephyr, first appeared in 1992's Harbinger #1, and was created by Jim Shooter and David Lapham. The character saw newfound popularity in 2016, when the first Faith solo series debuted, written by Jody Houser and illustrated by Francis Portela and Marguerite Sauvage. Faith is scheduled to be a part of the in-development Harbinger live-action feature film, in the works at Sony Pictures, produced by Neal Mortiz's Original Film.
